Patch Highlights
Special Collaboration: Attack On Titan
With a kidnapped Titan-Shifter as their weapon, a mysterious, power-hungry faction has infiltrated feudal Japan, setting their sights on total domination.
But when an attempt to rescue the Shifter fails, the lone survivor (with a dark secret) recruits Naoe and Yasuke to help her stop the group from unleashing the terror of a Titan on Japan.
Please note that this is a time-limited quest that is available from November 25th - December 22nd.
The quest giver is in the Yamashiro region, North of Hanazo Tower (the icon is displayed on the map). Note that the quest will not be within the objective board until the player interacts with the quest giver.
Unlock conditions: Unlock Yasuke as a playable character.
During the quest, players can find customization for their hideout (banners and a statue) and upon quest completion, players will earn a crystal katana for Naoe.
Alongside the story quest, there will also be an Attack on Titan Dual Pack. Inspired by the Attack on Titan universe, this pack will include outfits, weapons, trinkets, and a new mount. Available from the in-game store starting November 25th.
New Story Quest: A Puzzlement
Who is up for some friendly competition?
"A Puzzlement" is the 3rd story drop coming to Assassin's Creed Shadows. In this fun and humorous quest, Naoe and Yasuke encounter two old acquaintances having a loud argument about a mysterious door in south Wakasa. They task our protagonists with figuring out how to open it.
During the quest, Naoe and Yasuke will learn new skills from each other:
Naoe will learn how to perform her own spectacular version of Yasuke's war kick ability.
Yasuke will learn how to stealthily dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way.
You may also finally be able to settle the debate as to who would win in a straight up duel between our two protagonists. Have no fear, the duel is purely friendly, and totally harmless.
As the name suggests, "A Puzzlement", also introduces a brand new and intricate environmental puzzle for players to discover.
Unlock conditions: Unlock Yasuke as a playable character, and upon doing so, defeat two of the Shinbakufu.
Additional Highlights
Corrupted Castles
Improvements have also been made to Corrupted Castles. The chances of encountering the same castles from the previous season have been reduced, and the available castles each season will now provide a better distribution of Daisho per castles.
